Here is my makeup collection as of late (NOT including mineral makeup such as eyeshadows and blushes)...this is about 3 years worth of makeup, so don't be alarmed, LOL. I don't even think it's that huge compared to others i've seen so I am pretty proud for not going TOO crazy! Some of them are gifts from the BF or friends, others were products I reviewed for companies, but mostly gifts to myself, LOL. I have enough makeup for my future daughter and grand-daughter! Of course the makeup habit is a deadly one, but I have been a lot better at not buying the first thing I see just for the sake of having it; as well as not buying items that are dupe-able, or i'd rarely use. (How many variations of "Deep Truth" eyeshadow do we REALLY need?!)

The only thing I really like "collecting", are the MAC lipsticks and lipglasses (LE items), because I love lippies above everything else. Even if I am having a no-makeup day, I like adding some lipgloss on my lips. Do I REALLY use all this makeup? For the most part, yes. Obviously not all at once, LOL, but I do bring things out from the grave and use them every now and then.

Some of the products featured I have not done a review yet, but I will soon!

(I included my one and only NARS "Turkish Delight" I got from Pretty in Pink)

I forgot to add 2 NYX lipglosses in the last pic, so I just added it here...

OMGosh Vanessa! You have lots of make up! And I thought I already have a lot, yours is like a store already! hahah! *envy* :)

I'm being good too on spending/buying make up but whenever I see a lipgloss/lipsticks at CCO or MAC, I can't help myself! OMG, the husband's like "How many lips do you have? and how many eyes do you have? I bet you have 10 heads hiding somewhere else" Haha! He's funny but its true. I have so much lip products and I want more! Especially the LE ones :D

Umm yeah... I used to feel guilty for having so much makeup... not anymore lol!! love your collection! btw what brand is the palette that is between the Urban Decay and the Ben Nye ones? the one that has two blushers?

your so amazingly organized lol. nice collection. i had a question. so im not so adventerous when it comes to lipgloss/lipstick colors (ie:pink,red,orange) i always use clear. what do you recommend with someone with my skin tone? thanks in advance =)

fabulous collection!!! im jealous!! lol..i'm starting to love MAC lipstick, im not a big lipstick person but i like the MAC ones cause they don't have that lipstick smell..you know..i only have Viva Glam V..but I have some B2M to give back and hopefully try more colors out!!!

P.S. How is the L'Oreal Double Extend?? i looks pretty promising in the ads..lol..

hi Vanessa! that's a LOT of makeup! haha..you really should do free lance makeup work or workshop coz you don't really need to buy stuffs anymore hehe..plus you are really good so I'm sure your clients will all be pleased with the finished work :)

I want to see your whole MMU collection..coz I'm an MMU addict..2/3 of my makeup collection are MMU hehe :)

Hi Vanessa!!I'm so happy today,because you visited my blog...All is typed in portuguese,because all my visitors are brazilians,but I've posted many pics of my tutorials..I hope you'll see!!.I love you blog,and your tutorials,you always give so many good ideas,like how to combine eyeshadows...I have a question...What primer you used to fix the barryM dazzle dusts??I have so many colors,but I think that's type of eyeshadow doesn't lasts enough.
